A twinkle, a dazzle, a spark shines in your eyes
A rumor, a story, a person spreading lies
Is this what makes you so irresistibly charming?
Don’t the people realize it is them you are harming?
Tell me a lie

A glimmer, a flash, a streak goes rushing by
The fire, the smoke, the tracks of tears being cried
Is there anyone who can break your heart?
Is there something that can tear your world apart?
Tell me a lie

A tear, a fear, a rage runs through your veins
A heart, a knife, a love spilled leaves its stains
Didn’t you think it could happen to you?
Now you know, love isn’t something you fight
It’s something you do
Tell me a lie
Just once more…

Perhaps they are only telling Hyperbole?
Enjoyed the read.

Profound is the word that comes to mind when I read your poem. I liked it.
